Both teams tonight didn’t seem to bring their “A-game” on Thursday, with the two explosive offenses mustering just one goal each in regulation. The Florida Panthers had just three shots in the opening frame on B’s keeper Jaroslav Halak. Halak recorded 32 saves on the night, always tends to be a struggle for the Panthers to beat.
In the Panthers’ frame, Chris Driedger made a triumphant return for Joel Quenneville‘s team. Driedger, in his first game back since January 16th, made 25 saves, including a few beauties on Brad Marchand to keep him off the scoreboard.
